Category: Baking

Use vanilla beans to add pure vanilla flavor to any of your recipes. Cut the bean and use a portion at a time or you can use the whole bean, depending on the strength of vanilla flavor you desire. Cut your bean on a cutting board lying flat. Hold one end of the bean and carefully slice it open lengthwise, which you will see thousands of tiny seeds exposed. Cutting the bean open before placing it in a liquid exposes more of the surface of the bean, which will create a stronger vanilla flavoring. Comes in a glass tube.

Ingredients: Vanilla Bean.

Thomas O. ★★★★★

Cut one open and the seeds are so fragrant and moist that a single bean made my custard taste like a real bakery treat. I used half for a batch of cookies and the rest for ice cream, and both came out wonderfully rich. Just the right level of plumpness for easy scraping.

Matthew H. ★★★★★

I’d been buying extract for years, but using the whole bean for the first time was a game-changer—just one cut and the aroma filled the kitchen. Even a small portion steeped in my custard left that deep, real vanilla taste that powder never matched. Whole beans it is from now on.

Charlotte G. ★★★★★

The vanilla beans arrived plump and fragrant, and I love that I can snap off just a piece for a batch of cookies instead of committing the whole bean. The flavor they gave my custard was deep and real, nothing like the extract I used to rely on.
